There are lists of nominees, bits of news and "Grammy moments" at the official awards site (Flash), so prepare to welcome Green Day's Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and a lot of cutting edge modern artists such as Mariah Carey, Paul McCartney, Mariah Carey, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Mariah Carey and even Mariah Carey.
The official online coverage is at Yahoo.
Still, mockery aside, the Grammys do have trememdous depth, and anyone who ventures as far down as Category 74 will no doubt enjoy the battle for Best Polka Album. Even lower down the bill is the heavyweight battle between Evgeny Kissin (Scriabin, Medtner, Stravinsky) and Maxim Vengerov (Kreisler, Sarasate, Paganini, Wieniawski), though something else might just nick Category 101 -- Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without Orchestra), perhaps even Sarah Schuster Ericsson's Night Breeze - Harp Music Of Carlos Salzedo.
Update: Poor Mariah Carey, nominated for eight Grammy Awards, only collected three, and lost in all the major categories including record, song and album of the year. She was upstaged by U2, which won five out of five. Surprisingly, as the Chicago Sun-Times noted, "record of the year was awarded to pop-punks Green Day for their disappointingly lame and tepid ballad, Boulevard of Broken Dreams." I'd thought it wasn't quite lame and tepid enough to be a Grammy winner. Otherwise, The Washington Post has a round-up, and AP has a Complete list of Grammy Award winners, which records the fact that Evgeny Kissin won!
